Of cyrus-sasl? Not that I've seen. Do you mean cyrus-imapd perhaps? If you look at the "Contribute" Page, it is all about cyrus-imapd. If you look at the git log for the cyrus-sasl branch, there's been no real work at all for a few years: <https://cgit.cyrus.foundation/cyrus-sasl/log/> Again, this is despite the fact that a variety of patches and at least one new database backend have been contributed back. > If it's dead, what replaces it? Postfix has support for some alternative SASL implementation, but I've never looked at it in depth. --Quanah -- Quanah Gibson-Mount Platform Architect Zimbra, Inc. -------------------- Zimbra :: the leader in open source messaging and collaboration
